Overcharging for PT
Should I be outraged or should I be outraged? Nearly 1k for one 60 minute physical therapy should be daylight robbery. I looked up on how much each of those codes should cost per unit and UC davis is literally charging almost 10x that rate. I was able to call and got that 91170 was charged for 2 units so 366.54 for every 15 mins (btw we only did 20), 97140 and 97161 was for 1 unit each. I already contacted both my insurance (Anthem) and the clinic regarding this issue and they both said basically yeah, that’s it and there’s nothing they can do about jt. So am I done? Do I just have to accept my fate and pay that (also I have 2 other PT sessions I haven’t been billed for yet that is now making me nervous). This feels crazy.
